19 Sexual fetishes that people actually have

The definition of a fetish is as follows: "a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc."

For some people it's feet, for others it might be something like a collar-bone, and unfortunately for some strange people, it's poop. Whatever your thoughts are on fetishes, it is likely that you haven't heard of a lot of them and this is where I step in to educate you.

Thankfully for you, I have compiled a list of 19 of the strangest fetishes you will ever read about in your life. Why do I know them? Because they are mine. Because I used Google and saved you the task. Take a look at some of the most unusual below - who knows, maybe some apply to you?
